Peter Gospel - 1,564 words
1 Peter Gospel Biblical historians have many
different opinions on who is responsible for the
authorship of the New Testament writings.
Concentrating on 1 and 2 Peter, their different
conclusions can be analyzed. Scholars approach the

writings themselves. They discover the how, when,
why, who, and where of the writings. Each New
Testament scholar has come to their own conclusion
of the authorship of 1 and 2 Peter through this.
Their different views of the authorship of 1 and 2
Peter will be discussed and compared in this
paper. 1 Peter is a New Testament writing. It has

16th Century English Weapons 16th Century English
Weapons During the 16th century England and much
of Europe found itself in turmoil and in a
constant state of war. The outbreak of fighting
led to the invention and development of new
weapons and the growth and change of weapons of
old. The development of weapons was a trademark of
the time, with a sort of renaissance, or re-birth
in the field of weaponry (Miller). The technology
was highlighted by the invention of gunpowder by
the Chinese which eventually found its way to
England (Grolier). However, the use of gunpowder
was minimal, because the use of had yet to be
perfected. The technological advancement most

home and abroad. These were some of the factors
that lead to a cultural revolution. The revolution
attempted to diverge the fabric of American
society. Teenagers were living dangerously and
breaking away from the ideals that their parents
held. In the process they created their own

A Comparison And Contrast Of Lord Of The Flies And Heart Of Darkness - 398 words
A Comparison and Contrast of Lord of the Flies and
Heart of Darkness Achebe uses positive tone in his
description of the African jungle; whereas, Conrad
makes use of negative connotations. Their
portrayals of the jungle reflect their attitudes
toward their subject; Achebe sees it as a
hospitable home whereas Conrad sees a tragic trap.
Conrad utilizes words with negative connotations,
such as Arioted, Amob, Avengeful, and Agloom to
portray the jungle as an inauspicious place. He
makes use of diction such as, "Whether it meant
war, peace, or prayer we could not tell..." to
further portray the jungle as an Aunknown planet,"
a place of hostile unfamiliarity. Conrad feels the
"white man's burden" ...

Italian-born Cubist painter, Amedeo Modigliani
(1884-1920) and the French, Jacques Villon
(1875-1963), both painted vibrant and expressive
portraits during the early twentieth-century. In
this case, the chosen portraits are Modigliani's
"Portrait of Mrs. Hastings", 1915 and Villon's
"Mme. Fulgence", 1936. Both of these compositions
are portraits. Nothing is of more importance than
the sitter herself. The female sitter in
Modigliani's piece, sits in an almost dizzying

A Hurt Like No Other - 649 words
A Hurt Like No Other There are many different
things that are repetitively evident throughout
Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell To Arms. Such things
as rain, alcohol, and food are talked about over
and over as the novel progresses. At first glance,
these reoccurring items have no real meaning, but
after further research and complete dissection of
the novel, there are hidden meanings behind each
one. These meanings may vary from person to person
because they are personal opinions, but the items
which contain these meanings remain the same. The
first of these items which offers more than first
thought is the use of rain throughout the novel.

A Lesson From Oliver - 5,155 words
A Lesson From Oliver by David Jorgensen Like any
other morning I was up at four, the day Oliver met
with his violent death. At four in the morning the
grass is wet. Now, it's still wet at 6 a.m. and
even at seven, and these tend to be the hours of
choice for most people wishing to appreciate the
phenomenon of grass wetness. But it's a tragedy of
economics that, when work starts at 5 a.m., one is
not afforded the same time-options for grass
appreciation as members of the sane world. Nor was
this tragedy confined to my having to appreciate
the wet grass while in a metabolic state more
suited to hibernation. Four a.m. was my only
chance to absorb all of northern Ontario's summer

A Patriarchal World Assimilation - 1,578 words
A Patriarchal World --Assimilation A Patriarchal
World John Bodnar says it well when he suggests
that the center of everyday life was to be found
in the family-household. It was here that past
values and present realities were reconciled,
examined on an intelligible scale, evaluated and
mediated. This assertion implies that the
immigrant family-household is the vehicle of
assimilation. I will take this assertion a step
further and examine more specifically the powerful
role of the patriarchal father within Anzia
Yezierska's book Bread Givers and Barry Levinson's
film Avalon. Yezierska's theme vividly depicts the
constraint of a patriarchal world, while Levinson

A Reaction To Uncle Toms Cabin - 1,386 words

the slave trader Mr. Haley. Growing up on a
southern plantation, George naturally inherited
the slave-owning tradition of his culture. When he
found the beaten and dying Uncle Tom, however, his
perception immediately changed and he vowed to "do
what one man can to drive out this curse of
slavery from my land! (p.455)" It was George who
buried Uncle Tom, and he then returned home to
free all of his own slaves. George was an
admirable character because he demonstrated growth
and integrity and illustrated that the inveterate
rationalization of slave-owning was one that was
not immutable. I also feel that the character of
Mr. Wilson is one that c ...

A Report On American Economics - 916 words
A report on American economics Most of the
problems of the United states are related to the
economy. One of the major issues facing the
country today is social security. The United
States was one of the last major industrialized
nations to establish a social security system. In
1911, Wisconsin passed the first state workers
compensation law to be held constitutional. At
that time, most Americans believed the government
should not have to care for the aged, disabled or
needy. But such attitudes changed during the Great
Depression in the 1930's. In 1935, Congress passed
the Social Security Act. This law became the basis
of the U.S. social insurance system. It provided
cash benefits to only ret ...
